🥣 How to make (step-by-step photos)
1️⃣ Step One: Wash and cut apple
The first step to making this super simple snack is to wash your apple to remove any dirt or grime from the peel.
Then slice your apple into your favorite shape:
- Apple slices: cut the apple in half, cut away the core, then cut into thin slices
- Apple cubes: cut the apple in half, cut away the core, then cut the halves into small cubes
- Apple rounds: first remove the core with an apple core tool, then cut the apple into round slices
2️⃣ Step Two: Serve apple with peanut butter
Add peanut peanut (either creamy or chunky, whichever you prefer) to small bowl or directly onto a plate.
Then add your apple slices or cubes, and use them to dip into your peanut butter. Then enjoy!
❓ Recipe questions + quick tips
Either creamy or chunky peanut butter are delicious with apple slices for a healthy snack.
To keep apples from browning after cutting, simple add a squeeze or spray of lemon on the cut apple to prevent oxidation (or “browning”).
An apple with peanut butter is a healthy snack option that combines fiber from the fruit (apple) and both protein and fat from the peanut butter. It’s a great snack to keep you satiated for a few hours.
